Chapter 5 - Smashing the Altar
Medium shot: The entire congregation held their collective breath in pure, unadulterated terror as the eight-year-old girl charged the altar.
David’s panicked shouts echoed loudly, but he was too far away to stop her. Lily didn't aim the heavy metal weapon at the Bride. She didn't aim it at her father. She aimed it entirely at the massive, beautiful, incredibly expensive triangular wall completely covered in fragrant white roses.
With a fierce, absolutely terrifying, and deeply desperate scream of pure adrenaline, Lily swung the heavy red-handled axe with all the physical strength her tiny, eight-year-old body could possibly muster.
The heavy steel blade slammed violently into the center of the floral display.
There was absolutely no dialogue in the cathedral. There was only the incredibly loud, violent, and sickening sound of heavy, solid wood brutally splintering and breaking apart.
The white roses were completely shredded, their delicate petals raining down across the stone floor like snow. Lily ripped the axe backward and swung it again, and again, completely ignoring the screaming guests and the frantic security guards rushing down the aisle. She struck the hidden wooden panel behind the flowers with relentless, furious determination.
With one final, massive, exhausting swing, the heavy wooden panel completely cracked down the middle.
The wood broke entirely away, collapsing inward and revealing a dark, cramped, and incredibly dusty hollow cavity hidden directly behind the beautiful romantic altar.
